kerrynzl 3 Report post Posted January 6, 2007 Of course I want it - Hes come to the party and said $3000 whcih I am certainly willing to pay. My parents don't even want to talk to him now, they will just get me my money (trustee acc) and then I'll sign the papers and negotiate cambelt if it needs doing.... Man I can't wait till Mondays over I hate sitting on the cliff wondering whther i'm gunna fall off or not so to speak lol. Rog: Yep - Few life lessons learnt. Don't fuly tust anyone. Even if they are your "freind" Hey Emma! Borrow $100 from your mates as a deposit to secure the deal before the seller changes his mind [be prepared to lose it,if your parents don't agree] Once you secure the "Original" agreement, then talk your parents round [they are being stubborn, but usually the commitment of $$$ changes their minds] The problem here is 2 lots of egos going against each other [you are caught in the middle] Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BMW POWER 2 Report post Posted January 6, 2007 Hey Kerry My parents have agreed on giving him the $3000 he wants. I've already told my parents to keep their ego's out of the equation and isolate it only to Emma and the E30. Because after all this there will be no egos, only Emma and the E30 I've got $100 cash in my wallet...no burrowing off anybody thankyou very much.. Always stood on my own two feet and will continue that way.Don't need a deposit... Its going to BMW for a pre-purchase inspection Monday, then the signing of papers and cash handover will occur. But my parents are concrete on having him use his position as Manager to put a cambelt in (Itd cost us a bit more than him for labour, maybe.) I hope he doesn't say "No I've done enough f**k you" type of thing, I'll talk to him before that happens though and just say look I'll give you the $60 for a cambelt, you use your prowess to take labour out of the equation and my parents are happy and you're happy. I'm happy either way lol, I'm sure the service manager would put a cambelt in for me in the weekend though... minimal or no labour, only parts. We'll see how it goes. Thanks Kerry for the advice. Fingers crossed,but right hand only because I was told when I was 7 not to cross both hands, It's never failed me since. But then again i'm just superstitious! Cheers Em.

BMW POWER 2 Report post Posted January 7, 2007 (edited) Not mine yet though Paul! All these ego's are making for a pretty thin-ice skate... Im a bit nervous because its in my parents hands now and I'm not allowed to do anything myself - and I guess if you want something done properly you have to do it yourself. :S I'd like to say that I wouldn't care if the sale falls through, but i tried convincing myself with that before but it didnt work.

BMW POWER 2 Report post Posted January 8, 2007 Well, I'm the proud new owner of a E30.I'm not excited or anything ,just releived.But I guess im modest too Got it for $2800, needs cambelt ASAP. He obliged to that price - strange as hell because he wouldn't budge from $3250 2 days ago. I guess some things are worth fighting for and dreams do come true, If you are willing to work for them. Man thats deep but its true. I'd just like to thank Will,Graeme,Andy,Kerry,Paul,Martyn,Rog,Charlie Fox,318iSCoupe,Suilver Fox,Oldskool, and everyone who has helped one way or another. Especially Will. He's been one of the driving forces of this purchase, and I'm forever grateful.And thanks to Lyndon for selling it to me, cheers bud, even though you won't be reading this. Handover is 1pm tommorow so will get pics and post them up tommorow night in the rides forum. Fricken yayness. Em. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

martyyn 2 Report post Posted January 8, 2007 Congrats Em, I remember my first car (Orange Mazda 808) and I dont think I was out of it for a week ! Get some photos up and do yourself a favour. Stick the money you have left over into an account. If something happens in the first 6 months you can pay for it, if nothing happens then you can buy some goodies Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
